Matvei.I held the form for the culinary school I had enrolled Araceli into. A part of me kept telling me it wasn’t necessary, that I shouldn’t be bending shit for anyone—but fuck that.She had been so damn persistent with ignoring me, like I didn’t exist, like I was some stranger in my own house. She wasn’t talking to me, wasn’t even looking at me, and that silence…That silence was fucking with my head.It was tearing at something inside me, something I didn’t even know I had, making it impossible to think straight, to function like I normally would.Maybe this would fix it. Maybe it would make her look at me again… talk to me…The door creaked open, and I didn’t need to look to know it was Geal.“We were cut off from the trace we had on the fucker who’s been raiding your warehouses,” he said, dropping into the seat opposite me.I let the paper fall from my hand, shaking my head slowly.Never in my entire fucking life—since I became Don—has anyone managed to stay a step ahead of me.
